The senior captain was recently named a unanimous Hockey East First Team All-Star and the Hockey East Scoring Champion.
AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts hockey senior captain Bobby Trivigno has been named the 2021-22 Hockey East Player of the Year, the league announced on Tuesday. The Setauket, New York native who is a Hobey Baker candidate and a semifinalist for the Walter Brown Award, was named a unanimous Hockey East First Team All-Star selection last Friday and becomes the second Minuteman to earn Player of the Year honors, joining 2019 Hobey Baker winner Cale Makar.
Trivigno was recently crowned the 2021-22 Hockey East Scoring Champion with an average of 1.33 points per game, nearly .20 higher than his closest competitor, putting up a league-best 32 points over 24 contests on 14 goals and 18 assists. He totaled 14 goals and 18 assists in league action to rank second in both categories.
Overall on the year, the Setauket, New York native currently sits fifth in the nation in points with 45 on 18 goals and 27 assists, all career highs for the forward 34 games into the season. He ranks sixth nationally in points per-game (1.32), tied for 10th in assists and tied for 16th in goals. Trivigno's team-leading +21 rating lands in the top-30 nationally, as well. The February Hockey East Player of the Month has also been tabbed Hockey East Player of the Week once this season. Trivigno has been held without a point just seven times in 34 games and never in two consecutive contests, with three point streaks of five games or longer and 13 multi-point games.
Trivigno has etched his name into the UMass record books, becoming just the seventh player in program history to join UMass' 50-goal, 100-point club when he scored his 50th career goal on February 26 at Vermont. He currently holds the school record for career plus-minus (+74), ranks tied for second in career game winning goals (8), fourth in assists (76), fifth in points (127) and sixth in goals (51). His 2021-22 assists total (27) is currently tied for eighth on the school's single-season list and his 45 points are tied for 14th-most in a single season.
Trivigno has undoubtedly helped usher in the most successful era in the history of Massachusetts hockey as a member of the winningest class in program history, presently at 92-38-8 (.696) with four-straight seasons of 20 wins or more. He guided UMass to its first National Championship and Hockey East Tournament Championship in 2021-22 as a First-Team All-American, the program's first-ever Walter Brown Award and MVP of the Hockey East Tournament and Most Outstanding Player of the Frozen Four. As a freshman in 2018-19, he was a pivotal piece of the Minutemen's first Hockey East Regular Season Title and NCAA Runner-Up finish with a program-record 31 wins. In his sophomore season, which was cut short due to the COVID 19 pandemic, UMass was in position to earn another NCAA Tournament berth as the team finished eighth in the final Pairwise rankings.
